I’ve heard it all: Manila is “third-world,” filled with slums, dangerous, and everyone’s out to scam you. So when I finally moved here over a year ago, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Now, I’m here to tell you the REAL TRUTH about Manila, Philippines, and why it’s NOT what everyone back in the U.S. warned me about. 😮
In this video, I take you on a deep dive into the heart of the city, sharing my raw, unfiltered experiences as a 43-year-old American who left Portland, Oregon, to find something better. From stunning high-rise views in Bonifacio Global City (BGC) to unexpected encounters in the rain, I break down what life is really like here and why it’s far from the stereotypes. 🌆☀️🌧️
So whether you're considering moving abroad, want to learn more about the Philippines, or just need a dose of motivation, you’re in the right place. 💯
🚨 Let’s start a conversation! Do you think the Philippines is on the right track with Bongbong Marcos as president? What’s your take on the upcoming Trump vs. Harris election? How do you think American politics affects life in the Philippines? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below! 🗨️
